Chapter 687 Battle of the Plateau Gods

Chapter 687 Battle of Plateau Gods

Outside Songzhou City, a large bonfire was lit, and the yaks were stabbed one by one by the big-bodied butcher, and then cooked on the spot.

After removing the blood foam from the shank, it is stewed in a large pot until it is fragrant. The strong beef shank is smeared with various sauces and then slowly roasted over low heat.

Even the fishy offal was boiled in several large pots. This was a delicacy given to the lowest-level shepherd slaves.

As for Pei Yuan, Li Cunhui and others, they would naturally have to entertain them with a whole-ox feast, roasted whole lamb, etc.

These days, even Pei Yuan has relaxed and let himself go, not to mention the soldiers and generals below. It is like being a groom every night, which is so satisfying that many of them are starting to feel happy and forget about Shu.

On the entire Qingtang Plateau, Songzhou, Weizhou and Fuzhou, controlled by the tribe headed by Langjie Jiangcuo, have a total population of only more than 300,000.

These 300,000 people are distributed in an area about the same size as the Chengdu Plain, and their mobility is far less than that of the Han people. Therefore, they are very eager for foreign genes.

Although the Tubo people do not understand genes, they know that if members of their tribe get married repeatedly, the tribe will soon become a tribe of fools.

This is still much more advanced than the Tunguska savages.

Three Prefectures, Four Great East Bens, Thirty-one East Puqiong prostrated themselves on the ground, and the eminent monks in the city bent down to chant sutras to greet them. In accordance with the rules of the Central Plains court, Pei Yuan ordered Langjie Jiangcuo to set up a table and burn incense, and then asked the attendants to read out

edict.

Not to mention rebellion, even riots did not occur. Instead, a large number of wealthy plateau people continued to come down the mountain to seek refuge. This is the reason.

After a while, a long sigh came, and then the somewhat flattering smile that he had when he first met Pei Yuan and the senior monks of the Six Methods Sect appeared on Langjie Jiangcuo's face.

Luo Zhi doesn’t think that the Supreme God is like some down-and-out Rinpoche. If Luo Zhi says something, he will come and become a guest, right?

The Supreme Being is the last disciple of the Buddha who possesses great compassion, benevolence, supreme wisdom, and is the true God Buddha walking in the world. Do Luo Zhi really dare to go to Liangzhou to meet the Holy Spirit like this?"

This has nothing to do with romance, but is an inevitable choice for the tribe to thrive and even survive.

Historically, Qingtang Buddhism began during the Songtsen Gampo period because he married Princess Chizun of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty.

During the reign of Songtsen Gampo, Tubo was granted several Dongdai titles, among which the officials of the Big Dongdai were called Dongben and the officials of the Small Dongdai were called Dongpuqiong.

But Pei Yuan remained unmoved and looked at Langjie Jiangcuo with cold eyes.

After being stared at for more than ten seconds, Langjie Jiangcuo finally couldn't pretend anymore. He twisted uneasily, and the pretended drunkenness in his eyes had almost completely subsided.

Especially those women who are already married. If they become pregnant, they will mate the child they give birth to with the children of their husband's siblings in order to quickly fill the tribe's offspring and enrich the gene pool.

Still pretending to be stupid! Pei Yuan grabbed Langjie Jiangcuo's hand.

That is, as Li Cunhui said, these Tubo people on the Qingtang Plateau are not afraid of the Central Plains imperial court's attack at all.

Therefore, the Shuchang family seems to have suffered a loss, but in fact it has gained huge benefits. Many people are praising that the patriarch of the Shuchang family has a vision and made an appointment early. Now he only uses 600 yaks to make a wedding.

Got a temple master.

"Luozhi should understand that the Supreme Heaven has another identity, that is, the emperor of the Central Plains court. He is both the Supreme Heaven of Buddhism and a saint in the Central Plains, just like the Buddha who has countless incarnations.

At that time, when these two people came to Tibet, they both brought Buddhism to Tubo. Even the fight between the two people was caused by Buddhism.

It can be said that Zhang Zhi originated from Longyou, Hexi. In the past twelve years, he had many times deployed troops and grain in places like Longyou, Hexi, where a large number of Tubo, Qiang, Dangxiang and Momo people lived.

"Luo Chi comes from the Sunbo Rulang family. There are more heroes in the family than there are yaks on the hillside outside Songzhou City. I wonder if there are no other people who are related to Buddhism?"

The two of them were almost drunk after eating, and Pei Yuan basically figured out the plot behind Langjie Jiangcuo.

Sure enough, on the second day, Langjie Jiangcuo once again ordered people to hold a guard of honor from the Tubo era in Songzhou City. The four gates of Songzhou were opened wide, the roadside was decorated with red silk, and the road was paved with loess underfoot to welcome the angel where Pei Yuan was.

The group entered Songzhou City.

Of course it is suitable, because apart from creating the Supreme Heaven, Zhang Yan basically followed the path of Tibetan Buddhism in later generations.

In fact, not to mention in Tubo, even in the Han area, this kind of thing can often be considered as a benefit.

However, Pei Yuan is still a smart man after all. Did he suddenly understand the reason why Lun Zhangbo's family Lun Bo Ren sent a message to him, hoping that Pei Yuan could invite Langjie Jiangcuo to Liangzhou Mansion to meet the emperor?

Don't think that the Shangchang family is stupid. Who is Li Cunhui? He is the adopted son of Supreme Heaven and the lower realm of Jialan.

Of course, they must be more welcoming to wealthy Han people doing business. Sometimes, it is not new for wives and daughters to come together.

Pei Yuanduo is a smart person, and he quickly felt the difference from this difference.

After Pei Yuan figured this out, everyone was numb. These people did not come to seek refuge, but wanted to rely on the Six Methods Sect and their reputation and the status of the Emperor Supreme Heaven as a living god to fight against their fellow clansmen.

Fighting'.

The theocratic regime of Pazhu, formed more than a hundred years later in history, is the ultimate embodiment of this form.

This thing is far beyond Pei Yuan's knowledge and beyond his authority as an angel. He originally came to Songzhou to gain credit for opening up the territory and appeasing the barbarians!

Originally, Pei Yuan's eyes were much slender than those of ordinary people, and they looked a little strange. But now, when illuminated by the flickering light from the bonfire, they looked even more penetrating.

Therefore, at this time, all merchants who came to Qingtang from the Han were not necessarily Han, but could be of any other ethnic group, and they would basically receive this kind of treatment.

Of course, it is impossible for such a large family to all come to seek refuge, but the most discerning among them have already bet on the Yinliu Fa Sect on the plateau.

In fact, Weizhou had accepted Meng Shu's canonization before, but it never listened to the announcement or the announcement. It was just for the convenience of trade between the two parties.

A struggling look appeared on Langjie Jiangcuo's face, and Pei Yuan took the opportunity to increase the pressure again.

The seed he planted must have a connection with Buddhism. When he grows up and learns the scriptures well, he can at least be the head of a temple.

Langjie Jiangcuo pondered for a moment, then took the initiative to approach Pei Yuan, "What Mr. Pei said is indeed reasonable. So, Mr. Pei thinks, what else can a certain family do?"

But at this time, the sudden rise of Zhang Yan and the identity of Yinlun Dharma King and Supreme Heaven immediately attracted the attention of the entire Buddhist forces on the Qingtang Plateau.

"Luo Zhi doesn't think that just anyone who says a few big words can go to Liangzhou to meet the saint, right?

That is the scope of rule of a local power (big clan). To a large extent, it depends on the radiation range of the temples controlled by their family.

Langjie Jiangcuo was trembling all over after what he said, and big beads of sweat fell down in the cold windy evening.

It can be said that although Pei Yuan does not understand the political rules of the Qingtang Plateau, he understands politics and people's hearts.

Moreover, the Tubo people were the only empire in history that had not been defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and they were not very afraid of the dynasties in the Central Plains.

After Chizu Dezan, Langdama, who was pushed to power by the Bon religion, began the road of exterminating Buddhism with fierce methods. Compared with Langdama, Zhou Shizong's extermination of Buddhism in the Central Plains was considered gentle.

However, in the end, things went against expectations. Chizu Detsen took back his power without knowing it. However, his strategy of worshiping Buddhism brought misery to the people of the empire. In the end, he was also used by the ministers who believed in Bon religion. Through this trend that was disgusted by the whole country,

The atmosphere is killing.

Of course, rich and powerful families still do not have this custom, because they can easily marry people thousands of miles away and do not need such primitive methods to enrich their gene pool.

"Tomorrow, Song, Wei, Fu, Sanzhou, the four major Dongbens, and Thirty-one Dongpuqiong will all come together to pay homage to the angel. From tomorrow on, the three states will become the territory of the imperial court."

Pei Yuan smiled coldly, do you want to hide it?

Then Pei Yuan worked hard to climb hundreds of miles of snow-capped mountains, and Feng Dao almost lost his life, but it was all in vain.

Langjie Jiangcuo's head was a little dizzy, but he was still very sensitive to such a conversation. He deliberately pretended to be drunk and waved his hands, as if he didn't hear clearly what Pei Yuan said.

The difference is that Zhang Yan didn't recall it, or he didn't understand it at all.

The Lunzhang Bomi family in the Xihai and Dafeichuan areas were the first to take refuge, and then they led to the Lang family, a large wealthy family that occupied the entire Sun Boru area and was almost the generation of Xikang Province in the Republic of China.

They don't even need Zhang Gao's military force. They just want to borrow the Liufa Sect and his supreme reputation to revive Buddhism in Qingtang.

It is neither Tianzhu Buddhism nor Chinese Buddhism, and it is even more incompatible with the Tibetan people’s own cultural customs.

Therefore, the treatment of Pei Yuan and Li Cunhui is very different in this regard.

After thinking carefully for a while, Pei Yuan took the initiative to walk to Langjie Jiangcuo while everyone around him went out to dance.

Although Langdama was later assassinated by a monk and the process of exterminating Buddhism did not continue with high pressure, Buddhism on the Qingtang Plateau completely declined.

First, the Zhangbomi family wanted to see if the emperor supported them, and second, only the emperor could make a decision on this matter.

Well, I'm not afraid that may not be accurate. It probably means that they don't think their place is worthy of the imperial court's crusade.

"Luo Zhi should know that the Supreme Heaven can wait, because the prosperous world of the Central Plains cannot be compared to the Qingtang Plateau, but how long can Luo Zhi wait?"

So much so that the imperial court did not send a single soldier. Not only Songzhou, Weizhou, and Fuzhou came to surrender, but also Xihai and Dafeichuan, places that the dynasty had tried so hard to conquer in the past, all surrendered. The reason is still that

Buddhism.

This period is called the Dark Age in history, and it was not until the early Northern Song Dynasty that Buddhism on the Qingtang Plateau began to revive.

Since Buddhism developed greatly in Tubo during the Songtsen Gampo period, it has developed through several twists and turns over three hundred years and formed a relatively stable political narrative.

But Li Cunhui is completely different, because he has the identity of the adopted son of the Supreme Heaven. In the narrative of the Six Methods Sect, Li Cunhui is also the lower realm of Jialan next to the Supreme Heaven, and specially goes to the earth to protect the Supreme Heaven.

After the collapse of the Tubo Empire, many people, big and small, called themselves Dongdai, so there were thirty-five of them in the three states of Song, Wei, and Fu.

Although the Six Methods Sect is somewhat deviant, Buddhism on the Qingtang Plateau is in the dark ages, so who cares about that?

They just made do with it awkwardly for more than a hundred years. During the period of Zanpu Trizu Detsen, Zanpu's authority was constantly being eroded by local nobles. Trizu Detsen then chose to increase the authority of monks and Buddhism in order to use the hand of religion.

, to control the military, political, financial and other power of the local nobles.

Princess Chizun brought the original Indian Buddhism, while Princess Wencheng brought Buddhism that was integrated with Han culture.

Langjie Jiangcuo is the leader and main promoter of the Lang family.

To sum it up in one sentence, you want to have sex for free in front of the real gods and Buddhas. Just say a few nice words and get the claim?

Not to mention you, the Luo Zhi of Songzhou City, even the entire Sun Boru Lang clan is not qualified.

It was also at this time that Pei Yuan realized why the Six Methods Sect in Anxi and Beiting did not cause such a big storm, but on the Qingtang Plateau, it led to waves of turbulent waves.

He raised the chopsticks specially prepared by Langjie Jiangcuo for people like them from the Tang Dynasty and gently placed them on the table.

It has been suppressed for hundreds of years, but Qingtang Buddhism, which has a profound foundation of folk beliefs (after all, some of the Bon doctrines are so anti-human), has played a considerable role.

Therefore, the women from various tribes did not have the same sense of shame as the young ladies from the Han Dynasty. Instead, they were very relaxed. They did not regard this as a bad thing, but a kind of instinctive joy.

Pei Yuan first married a daughter-in-law, who was a widow living in her natal family. After that night of tenderness, Pei Yuan liked this woman very much, but if he wanted to let this woman accompany him again, he would have to give her a gift according to local customs.

Salt, tea, sugar, silk cloth and satin.

Both the Bon religion, which is now officially supported, and Buddhism, which is in a suppressed state, recognize this rule.

Moreover, the teachings of the Liufa Sect are actually very suitable for the thinking and customs of all classes on the Qingtang Plateau in many places.

Luo Zhi's devout belief in the Supreme Heaven is admirable, but he believes in the Supreme Heaven but turns a blind eye to the identity of a saint in the Supreme Heaven. Aren't you afraid of being considered not pious enough?"

It's just that although Langjie Jiangcuo is also a local hero, compared with people like Pei Yuan, his mind and eyes are not enough.

That is, if this herdsman worships in your family's temple, then this herdsman is the people under your family's rule.

After this process was completed, regardless of whether Langjie Jiangcuo recognized it or not, the Central Plains imperial court definitely recognized it. The three states of Song, Wei, and Fu in northwest Sichuan have since then surrendered to the imperial court.

Therefore, it cannot be regarded as belonging to the Han leadership. Only this time can it be considered that the relationship has been consolidated.

As for the cost of raising a child, haha! This was the Qingtang Plateau in the 10th century. The children of poor families were not much more valuable than the cubs of wild dogs in the wild.

From this time on, the Buddhism on the Qingtang Plateau has become two different things. No! It should be called three different things.

Moreover, before Li Cunhui left, my wife’s net worth immediately increased.

Historically, in the mountainous areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, it was not uncommon for men to take shortcuts and offer their wives to wealthy monks, and then raise sons for the monks to benefit from this. It was also not uncommon.

The Shangchang family, who had married first, said that if the mother was pregnant, they would give 300 yaks as a bride price from the original 200 yaks. If the baby was a boy, they would give an additional 300 yaks.

Therefore, the beautiful girl next to him with her big, twinkling eyes was a legitimate daughter who got married first, and was still unmarried. She was extremely well-behaved and did not require any money from Li Cunhui.

However, in any case, Langjie Jiangcuo's statement can indeed be regarded as surrender to the Central Plains court.

The suitable place is what Zhang Yan can recall or understand.

After the edict was read out and Pei Yuan nodded, the Zhongshu Taichao who accompanied the regiment and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province jointly filled in the name of Langjie Jiangcuo in the blank space of the edict with pen and seal.

In this edict, Zhang Jian united the three prefectures into Songpan Prefecture, appointed Langjie Jiangcuo as the hereditary envoy of Songpan Prefecture, and the military supervisor of Songpan Prefecture. The other big and small leaders were all given rewards.

At this point, Langjie Jiangcuo officially became the chieftain of the imperial court, and Songpan Mansion also became the bridgehead for the imperial court to enter Qingtang from northwest Sichuan.

I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, so I'll take a day off.
